Oh my gosh! What a book - honestly blown away!
First of all, this book took me on a ROLLERCOASTER - with gender role swaps and a lot of visual differences that I'm just not used to. It pushed my 'safety bubble' of Romantasy and what I've always said I like....my mind is well and truly blown open!
The MC is a FIERY, powerful, full bodied, sexy leader - a general for the queen and in line for the throne (although she has a fight on her hands for it) and our MMC is equally as formidable. This is not a story of the MMC being the protector, but quite the opposite and then an equality that develops that had me salivating for more.
The world building is incredible, all of the characters, bad, besties and fringe - were really engaging.
Fast paced dialogue, an interesting magic style and just a thoroughly beautiful well written book!

This was a miss for me, it started off strong but I got gradually more and more uncomfortable as I read on. The book had a strong matriarchal system but the men were essentially sex slaves and that’s how our main characters relationship starts… just icky. I liked the idea of it but the execution wasn’t great…

Tricia Levenseller debuts her first adult dark fantasy book with 'What Fury Brings', flipping the script on the patriarchy in a world where women are on top. The women are goddess-blessed with the strength to bring any man to their knees. They are the leaders, the protectors of men, and ultimately the ones who hold all the power. Men are valued for their ability to sire children, their good looks, and occupy their time with hobbies and caring for children.
This isn’t your typical female-empowerment fantasy. In this world, women being in charge doesn’t bring justice or peace—instead, they reflect the same cruelty and violence once wielded by men. What Fury Brings isn’t just a gender reversal; it’s a compelling exploration of how power corrupts, no matter who holds it.
As a woman, while this story was empowering in some ways, it was also slightly uncomfortable to read—you don’t expect women to be just as brutal as men when the odds are in their favour. But in many ways, it felt like I was unlearning everything society—through the lens of men—taught women to believe. This book challenges the norms, steps outside the box, and features some incredible morally grey female main characters.
I have to take a moment to say what an honour it is to read this book prior to its release. I’ve been a massive fan of Tricia Levenseller ever since I picked up The Shadow Between Us and devoured it in one sitting—that book still lives rent-free in my mind. Tricia has a beautiful way of writing her female main characters; she never follows the norm, and it’s truly inspiring to read women the way she writes them. I knew I would love this book regardless because I adore her writing, but damn—this book shocked me in so many unexpected ways. I’m beyond excited to see where this story takes us next.

She is female rage incarnate—unapologetic, fierce, and lethal in battle. More complex than those around her, she knows exactly what she wants and makes sure she’s always two steps ahead. Her priorities are clear: make the prince fall for her and claim the throne that is rightfully hers.

Sanos was raised to be a king, a warrior shaped by tradition and duty. But when he’s captured by a kingdom ruled by women, he’s forced to confront a reality where he’s no longer the one in control. Falling in line was never an option—not for a man forged in a kingdom that exalts masculinity and demands power. The tension with Olerra is undeniable, and he despises the way he wants her—almost as much as he resents the part of himself that’s beginning to find comfort in this unfamiliar kingdom.
Overall, this is not a sweet, fluffy fantasy—it’s violent, dark, and filled with intense tension. This book is made for readers who are tired of weak women finding their power through a man. After all, who needs a powerful man when you can be a powerful woman?

I started this book with really high hopes, books targeted as Sexy Romantasy have been my go to reads which I have really enjoyed; so I really wanted to love this story. After reading 46% of the book, I had to take the hard decision and stop reading altogether.
With the hype "What Fury Brings" has had on Instagram and Booktok, I was expecting a masterpiece novel which promised to delve into and explore gender inequality. I did not expect a revenge novel which portrays women as the better sex, however only through a gift of magic from a goddess.
The premise for this story was rather unique but the strong feeling of the author towards men tainted the story. This book should not be seeing the light of day, I am surprised it has gotten the hype it has.
As a story which promises to be a feminist book based on a change of roles patriarchy, the women are portrayed as monsters who treat men as their property but to such an extent that reading this book has put a bad taste in my mouth. This world Tricia has created where women are all powerful is much worse than the real world, the women treat their men like livestock. Surely if men did this to women, the only way to improve the society would be not to make the same mistakes as men - this isn't the case in this book.
How this book is a Romantasy, I do not understand. I wish I'd never started reading the book in the first place.

This was so very well done.
This is like Tricia Levenseller's typical romantasy but with a twist on patriarchy and a great critique to society. By reversing gender roles, this book manages to show what life really has been like for women through out history in a trully impactful way - men cannot hold property, they can be married off as soon as they're old enough to perform in bed, they should be seen and not heard. Men are the weaker sex. It's everything that society has normalized for centuries but flipping the tables around so the message comes through: it never should have been normal.
Other than that, there's romance, spice, court politics, scheming, battle scenes, a curvy and tall female main character and Levenseller's bingeable writing.

Read if you like: romantasy, kidnapping, dubcon, violence, captive prince, “good boy”, hidden identity, dubcon
As soon as I saw that Tricia had written an adult novel, I knew I needed to read it. However, this book ended up being such a let down 😭
Men being the weaker sex and to be seen and not heard had me cackling, I thought I would love this book as soon as I read the author’s note. Boy was I wrong, men in this story were gagged, chained, sold, abused, and absolutely humiliated in this book. Even a 13 year old boy was sold. The whole world didn’t sit right with me
I disliked the FMC, she came across as cocky “I am the most eligible and soon to be powerful woman in the world” and unlikeable. She was supposed to be a strong FMC but I didn’t get that energy from her. She wasn’t screaming “badass” to me until the end of the book
“His mouth watered. A large woman meant large breasts.” Uh no thanks, I didn’t like the MMC in this book too. It probably didn’t help that I’m not into the whole good boy thing and how she is a more dominant woman (to be fair it makes sense for it in this world). I just can’t do a weaker mmc, and her forcing him to wear skirts and makeup? I didn’t understand it personally was not for me
It took until 80% of the books to reveal the hidden identity and so their whole relationship was built on a lie 😭 the romance was barely there! It’s just not believable for him to be so humiliated and then as a captive to fall in love with her
I was frustrated that they accepted the system, the way they set up the world fails to dismantle the system and get to the route of the issue. I didn’t like the ending, I frankly didn’t enjoy the book at all. I think the TW and marketing needs to be redone - this is much darker book than I thought it would be.

This book is a WILD ride! I couldn’t stop reading even if I tried and I absolutely did not! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.

This book was everything I wanted and more.
I flew through this and honestly didn’t want it to end. Dark, emotional, spicy, and just so good. Olerra is one of my favourite heroines I’ve read in ages - she’s fierce, blunt, unapologetically herself, and I can’t tell you how much I loved seeing a plus-size FMC written as powerful and desirable without it being her whole personality. That meant so much to me.
The romance? Absolutely nailed it. I love a good enemies-to-lovers slow burn and this was chef’s kiss. The tension, the bickering, the way you can tell they care long before they admit it… just perfect. And the spice? Let’s just say I wasn’t expecting it to be quite so open-door, but it worked so well and fit the characters and the story perfectly.
I also really liked the matriarchal world and how it flips power on its head - it’s brutal and thought-provoking, and the little bits of found family in the crew were such a nice balance.
It’s dark in places, it doesn’t shy away from the heavy stuff, but it’s also empowering and addictive. I loved every second of it, and it’s already on my Waterstones preorder list because I need a finished copy on my shelf.
If you love a fierce plus-size heroine, enemies-to-lovers tension that delivers, a bit of spice, and a morally grey fantasy world you can really sink into, this is 100% worth picking up.

Fresh, riveting and immensely engaging, I couldn't put it down. A new era that marks the end of patriarchy. This powerful feminine rage is not just emotion, it’s revolution. So strap in and enjoy the world where women lead.
The plot was structured enough for me. Although it dove straight into the action, it was carefully written. The way the story unfolds is bittersweet. I love the mix of action, romance, and a political family feud.
Fast-paced and entertaining from start to finish. The world-building was simple, which I appreciated. The story focused more on women and romance. A perfect romantasy in my opinion. There may be a few elements that some readers will love and others might not, but if you're looking for something fresh, this is one you won't want to miss.
I’m not kidding when I say, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep and I can’t stop reading. I kept thinking about the book! When I was only 30% in, I was already planning to reread it. I want more of this please.
After watching The Romance of Tiger and Rose, I’ve been looking for a book with a similar plot. Unfortunately, I hadn’t found one I liked — until now. It feels like an answered prayer.
Thank you Pushkin press and netgalley for this e-arc, all opinions are my own,

What Fury Brings by Tricia Levenseller
Woah this book!!! The power, the female rage, the fury!
Amarra, a queendom ruled by women who possess the Goddess Gift, a magic to be able to overpower men. This story centres around Olerra, a warrior and the royal general, competing with her cousin, Glen, a conniving woman with monetary influence over nobles to become the next crown princess.
In an attempt to win the favour of the remaining nobles, Olerra decides she is going to kidnap herself a husband from the neighbouring land to show her strength and aptitude for becoming the next crown princess and in doing so, spare the land from her cousins cruelty. However her quest complicates when she unknowingly kidnaps the crown prince and heir, Sanos, not his brother… Sanos is unwilling to be her husband and hamper her every attempt at being civil. When Glen attempts to ruin Olerra’s plan, will this forge a real relationship or doom Sanos’ life and Olerra future as crown princess?
A gender swap novel inspired by the Sabine women kidnapped by the Ancient Romans.
I really enjoyed the concept of this book. The setting encapsulates the discrimination women have faced by gender swapping the roles. This is also really well woven into the plot in how Olerra treats Sanos and showing him how all people are treated in her kingdom. Olerra wants the best for her people and to crush the repression that her cousin would encourage if she were to rule. This novel is darker than what I would usually read and is heavier than the more lighthearted YA novels written by Tricia, however this is something I expected with the premise conveyed in the book. This story is well crafted and the heavy topics are prefaced by trigger warnings in the authors note which I found really helpful.

Thank you so much to Pushkin Press & NetGalley for the e-arc
4 stars!
I enjoyed the crap out of this!
One thing I loved was the flipping of power dynamics with gender. Reading it had me laughing at parts how things men prefer women to go through to be "appealing" and Sanos' reaction to it, such as the shaving!!! Its was interesting to see a male character witness and go through the things women would go through in real life such as having to do this to fit into the "ideal" ways a woman should look, seeing how women were in control and all bevaude they had to keep men in line in fear that the old ways from 500 years ago would return and harm them.
The only thing I would wish more for is scenes of them together. The hatred was there. Albeit, more one sided mostly on Sanos' side, but I just wanted some more bickering LOL
ALSO I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL IN THIS SERIES AND IF SO WILL IT HAVE WHO I THINK IN IT?! BECAUSE SIGN ME UP LOOOL I'D love to see that dynamic

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? Yes
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.0 STARS
I have some pretty complex and conflicting feelings about this book.
Whilst it was a very fast and entertain read, where the world building was just enough to understand what was going on, I felt uncomfortable while reading this. A lot of what day to day life is like or what's accepted in both main kingdoms, regardless of gender committing the actions, are things I just don't morally agree with. Fair warning that if you do decided to read this there are some dark themes and to please look up content warnings before jumping in!
I also felt this should really be advertised more as a dystopian fantasy?? Maybe?? Like technically the people of Amarra have a level of unchecked power who some people abuse. Idk the whole tone of this book was that what I'm doing is okay because I'm not the worse and you should accept that. Also the romance element felt so unneeded - I enjoyed the characters far more in their political roles and would have just preferred it to be a high stakes political fantasy.
Overall I can see what what Tricia was trying to achieve and while reading it was making me think rather critically than any other romantasy has ever so I can't fault that.
Thank you to Tricia Levenseller, Pushkin Press and NetGalley for a digital ARC of What Fury Brings by Tricia Levenseller.

this was one of those books which had all the potential in the world but fell completely on its face. I can get behind some of the messages this book <i>tried</i> to portray but not when everything is not only accepted but excused - as if we should treat anyone, male or female this way. I read the authors note, I had an idea of the premise of this book but it was hauntingly uncomfortable to read, especially when the author does not make this clear from any of the characters that this is not okay.
there was zero justification for the romance and I can’t believe anyone would love someone who treated them less than a piece of crap on the bottom of their shoe. and that goes for any romance novel.
definitely not for me.
<i>Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.</i>

Thank you to the author and publishers for allowing me an e-ARC via NetGalley! That has no influenced this review and all opinions are my own.
This was my first book by Tricia and it absolutely lived up to all of the compliments I’ve seen others give.
As a girl who reads a lot of romantasy/fantasy, sometimes books can become repetitive, but this one was completely unique in every way. Let me start by saying that the female rage within this book is EVERYTHING. A kingdom run completely by women, with men there in lesser roles? I am absolutely sold. As a woman who has been told ‘no’ countless times purely because of my gender, this book was liberating and cathartic. In fact there should be a rule that every man in power has to read this book to understand our struggles.
The FMC is badass and I love the fact that she does not change a thing about herself for anyone else. Seeing her realise her potential was so exciting. I really enjoyed the fact that she didn’t NEED a man but WANTED one. And I loved that she wanted justice against people who had wronged her - she didn’t just ‘let it go’; she knew what she deserved and she went after that.
The pacing of the book was great and I really enjoyed the balance of plot / character development. It was really easy to read and even when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. The scene setting was fun and I found it easy to picture in my mind.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. It’s ideal for anyone who loves a mix of female rage, slow burn, and enemies to lovers!
rating: 4/5 stars (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

Let me start by saying that this was a very satisfying read.
What Fury Brings is based on the premise of a Matriarchal society and that trope ticks all my boxes ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ We follow Olerra, a Queen potential of Amarra who plans to kidnap the second- born Brutus prince in order to secure support for her bid to the throne. Naturally, she nabs the wrong one and comes away with the Warrior Sanos instead of the poet Andrastus (who’s name still gives me trauma from the game I played in the Tricia queue at RARE25 To win a physical arc) checking the box for another fave trope #mistakenidentity
The writing was pretty YA for an NA book and honestly, in the beginning I found the book overly sexualised until we start getting some more world building in place.
The book was absolutely hilarious which was jarring considering we had some pretty disturbing scenes and themes going on. It was quick to read and easy to understand, and while I would have preferred a more complex world, I have to say the simple gender role switch worked really well here tho it stills needs more fleshing out imo.
The ending was really satisfying of a little predictable tho I felt like again, the reality of the world was left kinda unfinished. All in all, I’m down for another book in this world and will most likely reread this one too at some point down the line.
The E-arc I read was pretty atrocious, the grammar was all over the place and the formatting horrendous. I was lucky enough to snag a physical arc at rare and that was MUCH so I also need to read the completed standard release before casting my judgement on the grammar.
Thank you to NetGalley, Tricia Levenseller and Pushkin for providing me with an arc.

I've never been this conflicted about a book before. I genuinely don't know how to rate it. I mean, I did devoured it, but I also wanted to stop reading it.. I hated it so much, but I also loved it just as much... I had the time of my life, but it's also the most furious I've ever been... I seriously don't know..
I guees a three is the most logical rating, right in the middle. But I need you all to know it's both too high and not high enough, if that makes sense. I don't even know anymore..
Amarra is a kingdom blessed my the goddess with a power to overpower man. There's a shortage of man and women tend to kidnap their husbands, it's tradition. Olerra is a general, but also a princess battling with her cousin for a chance to inherit the throne. To give herself an edge over her cousin, she decides to kidnap a second-born prince from an enemy kingdom. Unfortunately, she grabs the wrong one. Sanos, the heir to the Kingdom of Brutus, was trained from childhood to fight, under the rule of his violent father. When he finds himself kidnapped and taken to an enemy kingdom, he must do everything he can to go back home and to keep everyone from finding his real identity. But his captor might be too hard to resist..
In Amarra, woman are in charge. They are the stronger gender. Man are treated like lesser beings, there to bring pleasure and take care of the children and home. They are basically slaves. It is meant to show a flipped world, where woman act towards man like man acted towards them. It's a revenge act. I loved that the goddess gave them the power over man, because let's be honest so many of us would love that power, but I hate that they used it to treat man exactly as they were treated. They lowered themselves to their level and made themselves just as bad as they were. I hated it..
!!!Please check the trigger warnings!!!
The best thing about their world is how they dealt with rapists, I can 100% get behind that.. I also loved how everyone was accepted in their world, that was commendable.
The characters, I hated them so much, even when I loved them. Olerra was just as bad as everyone else, just with the mentality of I'm better than them, I'm not as cruel, while still being abusive. There are more ways than one to be abusive!!!!! You caring about them doesn't automatically make you better. I would've respected her more if she embraced it, instead of insisting she wasn't like everyone else while still being abusive. But then there were moments where I absolutely loved her. The way she protected Sanos, how she gave him time, how badass she was. She was incredibly strong and worked so hard. But I spent the whole book alternating between hating and loving her.
Then Sanos, I felt so bad for him, he literally replaced one abuser for another, but he also got on my nerves. I loved his closeness with his family, he did everything to protect them, but I hated the fact it took him seeing the worst of Amarra to actually think about changing things in his kingdom.
Their romance was both compelling and disappointing. I genuinely hated their romance, while loving parts of it. I loved how their relationship progressed and there were some really great moments but how do you expect me to believe he fell in love with her while being held captive and chained, while he was being humiliated. I just can't get over it, I hate the humiliation part. It will always be a hard no for me. It made me sick to my stomach..
I did love the writing and the quick pace. It kept me entertained even when I hated it. I wanted to dnf it multiple times, but was still interested in the story enough to keep going.
I loved the ending, especially the part at the gates, but I would've loved to see an actual plan to make things better instead of just saying that they'll make changes.. It felt hollow..
All in all, it was a good book with a great premise and I loved the thought behind it.. It's ultimately about rage.. It's a book you're either going to love or absolutely hate. I can see both sides, which is why I'm so conflicted..

I feel really conflicted about this one, and I can see from other reviews online that I’m not the only one. The author addresses that this is not a feminist book, it does not break moulds and let us see gender in a new light but instead flips the script on medieval treatment of women. I kept having to remind myself throughout the story that if this was reversed gender wise I’m sure the masses would eat this up as a softer dark romance book… that being said, knowing that the majority of people reading this is going to female identifying I was really struggling to see what Levenseller was trying to achieve. Perhaps just writing as a form of femanine rage, and if so I’m not sure it should have been published. That being said, I did very much enjoy the writing style of this and always will with this author, I just wished the relationships were better flushed out and some characters like our main antagonist’s reasonings were better explained

Arc review:
Thank you to Pushkin Press.
After letting this book digest for a couple days, I stand solid at 5 stars.
This book was uncomfortable and it was hard to read at moments. It’s meant to be. It is dark in places, dubious in others. It’s supposed to be.
(If you read this review no further, please just carefully read the authors note before reading and/or reviewing this book.)
What Olerra describes and shows that happens in her country, Amarra, are only gender swapped depictions of what actually happens or has happened in our world. Brutus as a country is supposed to show the viciousness and hatred against women and the toxic masculinity culture that sweeps through men evident in our own society. There is not meant to be one better country/society between the two. Olerras whole motivation is to bring more equality to her nation, of which her understanding improves throughout. As much as Sanos learns and evolves, Olerra does too.
If you’re expecting a ‘beautiful’ feminist story, this isn’t the book for you. It is supposed to make you question yourself, question why it’s uncomfortable for you to read, and question why it’s considered so dark. It challenges you no matter your beliefs and opinions.
The sexual scenes were some of the best I have read in recent releases. The political world was easy and not overwhelming. The representation in this book is genuinely incredible.
This book is not without its flaws; to name the bits that I wasn’t keen on:
Personally, I feel it would’ve worked better as a longer book but it read very well as a short book too.
The fairytale ending was an interesting choice. I admittedly was waiting for something to go wrong. But it was the traditional Shrek fairytale ending. I enjoyed reading it but it was a stark contrast to the rest of the book.
I feel like although the slow burn is definitely there, the leap to love is quicker than I’d like.
I read this book in 24 hours, including sleeping and working and having a toddler. It was hard to put down and so easy to read. As always, I loved Tricia Levenseller’s writing. I cannot wait to have a copy in my hands come September.
This will be a book I will have my fiancé read, and I will absolutely suggest it to anyone who will listen.
It’s not everyone’s taste, that’s for sure. It is not meant to be a delicate and ‘ideal feminist’ read either. Go into this book with an open mind. It’s powerful but it is beautifully ugly. I would highly encourage giving it a go.

Okay, hear me out - I really wanted to enjoy this. The premise was incredibly promising: a society that mirrors our own but with a flipped power dynamic, where the atrocities historically committed against women have instead been committed by men. Such a powerful concept with so much potential.
The story was there, and the romance kind of was too - but it felt rushed. Everything happened so quickly that it was hard to stay grounded in the plot or connect emotionally with the characters. I found myself losing focus often, which made it difficult to stay engaged.
I really appreciated the trigger warnings at the beginning - they were honest and important - but in the end, this just wasn’t the book I expected. I wish I had liked it more.

Thanks to Netgalley and Pushkin Press for letting me read this e-arc.
Play the UNO reverse card on how women were and sometimes still are treated in our world, and you get the society that forms the basis for the story here. The matriarchal structure of Amarra is not that of an ideal society in which everyone has equal rights; rather, men are structurally and physically subjugated by women. I found this starting point very fascinating, and the author's foreword definitely helped to put the whole thing into perspective. The point here isn't to say that women who oppress men are better than the other way around. Just as we have men in our real world who advocate for equal rights, there are also women in Amarra—like our main character Olerra —who have visions for a better coexistence and are committed to achieving it. Many moments of oppression are truly difficult to read, but the sad thing is that it’s a real situation for some women still today in parts of this world, while for men this only really exists in the fiction described here. Together with Sanos, who is stolen from his kingdom and is to be married to Olerra against his will, we learn about this kingdom and its customs bit by bit, which creates a great narrative element. The story is fast paced and never boring.
It is spicy, not just to fulfills expectations of an adult book, but because the scenes actually make sense for the plot and support the relationship and development of the main characters.
Before reading, I had no idea whether this was a standalone book and during reading I wished for a cliffhanger at the end so there could be a follow-up. In fact, I have to say that the author has brilliantly succeeded in bringing a very extensive plot to a completely satisfying conclusion in this one book. I would return to this fascinating world of contrasts between the kingdoms at any time.
This book is Tricia Levenseller's first adult fantasy book, and I think she has successfully transitioned into this new genre for her.
But make sure to check your trigger warnings before reading and expect a darker romance
